Competitive Runners Dig This Doc-in-a-Watch

 

Rather than just count how many times a minute your heart thumps, this doc-in-a-watch tracks heart-rate variability — a more accurate measure of fitness

Best choice for competitive runners. Amazingly customizable software and display. Graphs heart rate with almost EKG-level detail. Desktop software provides more feedback than a year in therapy

Who said the Finns were good at design? Watch has the aesthetic appeal of Soviet-era architecture. PC-only software’s learning curve is steeper than the Boston Marathon's Heartbreak Hill. Bulky GPS pod

Polar Heart Reat Monitor

 

Polar Heart Reat Monitor

Not the easiest heart rate monitor to use. I had to read the manual multiple times. I still have not figured it all out and I can't seem to store my files. It does all I want it to and more, but it is not intuitive. Plan to spend quite a bit of...
